I had to google him! I never watched Arrested Development, I assume I should rectify that?

This was a huge temptation when in Australia in 2001, swimming off Manly Bay, the hooter goes off for shark warning and everyone swims like fuck for the shore! I was further out than everyone else so an evil thought did pop up for a nanosecond to grasp my arm screaming as I came out of the sea! I quickly realised this could land me in jail so just legged it out with everyone else.

The first three seasons are very good, wouldn’t bother with anything after that.

Was about to argue with this, but I’ll take it to the unpopular opinions thread :wink:

Seriously though, I really loved this video and learning about your arm. Like everyone has said you come across really well on camera, I’d never have known it was your debut :slight_smile:

It’s always slightly bittersweet for me seeing people like you who have really persevered with your prosthetics - when my nan lost her leg, she pretty much gave up straight away. But since then there’s been such amazing advancements and it doesn’t feel as taboo as it used to be (although that might be because I know more open-minded folk these days). The 3D printed Iron Man arms for kids are ridiculously awesome.

One of my work projects involves an old prosthetic arm made for a musician to play piano - she used it in a performance at the Royal Albert Hall:

I’d love to share your video with my colleagues, if that’s ok with you?

When I grow up I want to be half as cool as Mister @LastAstronaut here. What a dude!

really enjoyed that ma man, very interesting as as so many others have said you’re a natural in front of the camera, so very laid back and at ease.

Good stuff, i’m already looking forward to the sequel. :slight_smile:

That pianist’s arm is great! Although it does show that in 100 years we haven’t really come that far, although I think as with every other type of tech, the advances are going to come thick and fast now!
